70 Years ago today: the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II

My parents were on their honeymoon.  My mom watched the Coronation.  The BBC sent copies of the Coronation on film, which were brought to the US & Canada, and other countries.  It would be another decade before television used satellites.   The Coronation was not live in the majority of countries that had television service.
